Guest opinion: Beware the 'Brussels effect' on AI

Emulating the European Union's regulatory approach to AI could stifle California's innovation economy. The EU's recent Artificial Intelligence Act imposes strict compliance mandates that may hinder the development of new AI services. California lawmakers are considering similar regulations, risking the vibrancy of the state's tech sector.

The EU's regulatory framework has already created a tech gap, with no major tech companies emerging from Europe. California, home to many of the world's most valuable tech firms, must avoid following this path to prevent economic decline. Clear and responsible AI regulations are necessary, but California should not adopt Europe's restrictive model.

• California risks economic decline by emulating EU's AI regulations.
